Sweet Watermelon Dress

Pintuck pleats and crochet lace run down the bodice, finished with mother of pearl buttons — and that's before you even get to the print. Whole melons, rosy slices, and tiny floral sprigs cover a cream ground in a hand-painted pattern that earns every compliment it gets. Cap sleeves, a button tie at the back, and a tiered skirt with tiny ruffle details at each tier. Front patch pockets sit right where your hands want to be. Some summer dresses come and go. You'll be reaching for this one for years.
